Since the ending of the 1993 film, Sattler married and had two children.
When we meet Sattler in "Dominion," she's no longer a paleobotanist. Instead, she's a soil scientist with a focus on climate change.
Sam Neill reprises his role as paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant.

Grant is still burying himself in his work in "Dominion" and regrets letting Sattler get away years ago. Sattler will seek him out in the sequel when she makes a big discovery.
Jeff Goldblum returns as Dr. Ian Malcolm after briefly reprising the role at the end of 2018's "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom."

The mathematician is still studying chaos theory and is now a philosopher to young minds at a surprising location.
BD Wong is back again as geneticist Dr. Henry Wu.

Wu was the geneticist responsible for overseeing the creation of dinos at "Jurassic Park." This time, he engineered something a bit more catastrophic for Biosyn.
Campbell Scott takes over the role of Biosyn CEO Lewis Dodgson who was played by Cameron Thor in the 1993 film.

It's easy to overlook the addition of Dodgson as a character from the original movie until late in "Dominion" since he's played by a different actor.
In "Jurassic Park," Dodgson was the CEO who offered Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight) millions to steal dino embryos from Jurassic Park.
In 2016, Thor, who pleaded not guilty to multiple charges tied to an incident with a 13-year-old, was sentenced to six years in prison on charges of sexual misconduct of a minor.
